How to Identify This Grade
Cast alloy wheels — non-magnetic, silver or painted finish, heavier than steel wheel covers. Remove tires before going to the yard.
Common Sources
Old car rims, truck wheels, motorcycle wheels
What Lowers the Value
Steel valve stems, wheel weights, lug nuts, and the tire itself lower your return — take them off first. Chrome-plated or heavily painted rims may be assessed slightly below clean alloy.
